Pros: They come in different varieties and flavors (including the Ruffles "ridged" line!), are fat-free with low calorie counts, and taste really good.

Cons: They're made with Olestra. And that stuff still has an AWFUL reputation!

HG's Two Cents: We like these chips, and we have, at times, loaded up on them without feeling ANY effects of Olestra. We think the Olestra "issues" were magnified by the media and affect only a select few people.

Pros: They're SUPER low in calories and come in small bags that have just 35 - 45 calories each. WE LOVE THAT!

Cons: We like the way these taste a LOT. We don't mind their dryness -- and to us they taste like instant mashed potatoes when you chew 'em (which we kinda like!). That being said, there are MANY people who dislike these chips with intense passion. So try 'em or don't -- your call!

HG Bonus Info: These were recently reformulated, which is why some bags have 35 calories and some have 45. The newer formula has 45 calories and a POINTS® value of 1* per bag. If you order online, you'll get those. You can still find some of the 35-calories bags at Costco.

Pros: They're neat-looking and stack well. They taste good if you like Pringles. They're low in fat. And there are portion-controlled options!

Cons: They're a little scary. There's the Olestra thing again. They're a little outdated. And they don't taste as good as a lot of other guilt-free chips. Plus you'll want to eat these things in fat stacks -- and that can mean eating 20 chips at once. AHHHHHH!

HG's Bottom Line: We'd eat these if we REALLY wanted chips and none of our favorites were available.
